John recently posted with some great information on how dimmers work, and one of our readers asked an interesting question: Is it better to dim bulbs to 50% or use a bulb that's half the wattage?
To get to the bottom of this, I asked our resident expert Hugh Prosser. Hugh replied with a detailed explanation of how dimmers save energy while also increasing bulb life. Did you know dimmers extend the life of your bulbs by 50% or more?
